Hundreds of academic institutions worldwide already accept PTE Academic Online for admissions, and more are choosing to recognize the test every day. Find out if your preferred institutions recognize PTE Academic Online.
Is PTE Academic Online the right choice for me?
PTE Academic Online is suitable for study applications and can be taken in most countries worldwide.*
While taking PTE Academic in a test center is still the best option in most cases, PTE Academic Online is a great alternative when:
-
test centers are closed
-
there is no PTE test center in your region or country
-
you cannot easily access a test center
-
you have an additional requirement that is better supported by an at-home test (e.g., a mobility restriction or visual impairment)
* The test is only suitable for study applications to institutions that recognize PTE Academic Online. It is not currently accepted for visa purposes.
How do I prepare for PTE Academic Online?
Preparing for content of the PTE Academic test is the same whether you’re sitting the test at home or in a test center. Explore our preparation resources.
To familiarize yourself with the online test experience, we recommend exploring our PTE Academic Online test taker handbook and our help center.
